Title: Deflectable catheter with a flexibly attached tip section
Inventor: WORLEY SETH J
IPC: A61B18/08
Filed: 2006-12-18
Granted: 2012-12-20
Abstract: A catheter for mapping and/or ablating a region of the heart, comprises a catheter body with an intermediate section that is connected to a tip assembly by a highly flexible preshaped section. The highly flexible section presets the tip assembly at an off axis and/or off plane angles from the intermediate section, to provide the following: a) The intermediate section when deflected approximates the generally convex region of the cavo tricuspid isthmus and the preset angle of the flexible section is off axis in the same plane and same direction as deflection of the intermediate section to enable the tip assembly to contact the cavo tricuspid isthmus for ablation and/or mapping. b) The intermediate section when deflected approximates the generally concave region of the VA/RV/LA/LV and the preset angle in the same plane and opposite direction of deflection enables the tip assembly to contact the walls of the cavity for ablation and/or mapping. c) The intermediate section when deflected approximates the generally convex region of the His area and the preset off plane angle of the flexible section enable the tip assembly to contact the Bundle of His region. A high bending modulus of the flexible section enables the flexible section to absorb displacement force applied to the tip assembly, such as when the tip assembly encounters uneven tissue surface, without displacing the intermediate section. The flexible section prevents excessive force from being applied to the tip assembly, reducing the risk of any of the following: a) mechanical perforation, b) steam pop, c) burying the tip assembly in the myocardium resulting in high temperatures, low energy delivery, thrombus formation and char formation.

Title: Suppression of resistance in insects to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins, using toxins that do not require the cadherin receptor
Inventor: TABASHNIK ELLIOT BRUCE
IPC: C12P21/04
Filed: 2007-06-08
Granted: 2012-07-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for obtaining DNA constructions coding for Cry toxins with 3 domains (also known as Cry toxins, Bt toxins or δ-endotoxins), which lack helix α-1. Said DNA constructions were modified in order to encode proteins that can kill insects that are resistant to the corresponding non-modified Cry toxins. The invention relates to the DNA constructions of the genes of modified 3-domain Cry toxins and the modified 3-domain Cry proteins, together with methods, molecular vectors and host cells containing said constructions, as well as recombinant methods for producing the modified 3-domain Cry toxins. In addition, the invention relates to formulations containing the modified 3-domain Cry toxins. Resistance of insects to non-modified Cry toxins is due to a reduced binding of the toxin to the receptors in the insect's intestine. More specifically, the invention relates to the expression of the modified 3-domain Cry toxins, the methods for expressing said modified 3-domain Cry toxins, transformed microorganisms and transgenic plants with constructions that express the modified 3-domain Cry toxins and methods for suppressing resistance of pests to non-modified Cry toxins.
